 GALION — The Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce (GCACC) had a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, Aug 18 to welcome a new enterprise to Uptowne Galion: Carrie’s Venue, located at 129 Harding Way East. 

Carrie’s Venue is “Your Intimate Celebration Destination … a charming and intimate event space designed to host unforgettable gatherings with a personal touch. Nestled in the heart of Galion, our cozy venue is perfect for parties, gatherings, and special moments that deserve a warm and welcoming setting.”  

The space, formerly known as The Venue by Cake & Icing, was sold by former proprietor Laura Johnson a few weeks ago to Carrie Cottrell of Cleaning by Carrie, who renamed the space Carrie’s Venue. 

“I couldn’t be more proud to continue Laura’s dream,” says Cottrell, “providing Uptowne with a clean, classy venue for any event.” 

GCACC Executive Director Miranda Jones notes, “We’re not only excited to have this wonderful event space available in our community; we’re also happy to see a chamber member grow and pursue new opportunities!”
